Description
In this film, the late Raymond Burr discusses building a Rose Float, an annual tradition at the Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo campuses since 1949. Rose Floats are featured in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, which dates back to 1893 and is today televised all over the world. In addition to his contributions to the parade, Mr. Burr is noted for his donation of an orchid collection and three greenhouses to Cal Poly Pomona. This recording is of historical significance in its discussion of local history and the campus' role in a world-famous event.
